Description: Adam Ford's Swiss Ball Lower Body DVD delivers three fast effective workouts without weights or machines yet provides the critical resistance for strong leg and hip muscles. Like the other DVDs in this series, a progression of three 20-minute workouts precisely guides you. Adam's focus is quality not endless reps and burning, aching muscles. These powerful, precise movements build true strength and endurance while enhancing your balance and flexibility. The beginner exercises in Swiss Ball Lower Body will give novices a solid foundation of lower body strength, while the advanced material will challenge almost anyone. If you thought the ball was just for crunches, think again. Start today and get the results you've been missing.
-Fast and effective -Promotes balance and flexibility -Lower body strength without excess size -3 20-minute workouts -Includes stretching
From the instructor: In my Swiss ball lower body workouts I perform classic exercises like hamstring curls and bridging as well as several more dynamic movements. With proper ball training you'll develop increased whole body integration, awareness and flexibility. These programs work well on their own or as complement to more traditional exercises like squats and deadlifts.
Killer legs If you're looking for a challenging workout that'll test your core and legs, TRY THIS VIDEO. I've been on it for 8 months and it's still difficult. That's just a testament to how great a swiss ball workout is. I really love how Adam (trainer in the video) clearly shows the correct form because without it, you're pretty much just playing with a big ball. As fun as that sounds, if you stick to the video and stay with it, you'll see amazing results. My legs are incredibly strong. My core is tight and that nagging pain in my right knee is somehow gone.
If you're looking for weight loss. This isn't it. However if you're looking to increase overall strength and flexibility, you need to be all over this video. I've since combined it with a good cardio and weight routine and since January have dropped 25lb and gained tons of muscle definition. I'm still not as cut up as Adam but I hope he releases more of his secrets soon because this guy's body is killer.
Challenging workout for advanced ball users So it's not the most exciting exercise DVD, but it's challenging. I've only done the first 2 workouts and each time I work up a sweat. I am looking forward to moving on to workout 3.
Amazing DVD - Great Workout Series! I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but it's true just like the Abs & Core DVD this Lower Body workout from Ridgeline Fitness delivers.
I've worked out for several years in the gym with weight training and cardiovascular exercise. I suffered a knee injury 5 years ago while performing leg press. My leg workouts have been lagging since that injury. My lower body strength has felt off balance in comparison to that of my upper body. Honestly, I've felt a lot of fear when it comes to really pushing my legs at the gym, because the last thing I want to do is injure myself again.
As with the Abs & Core DVD this selection is clean cut, to the point and amazing. Adam Ford gives easy to follow instructions. The workout is challenging while also being fun. The music is simple and energizing. This DVD is easy to come back to again and again for repeat workouts.
By using my own body weight and the Swiss ball I've been able to strengthen my legs and mix this DVD with lower body weight training at the gym. My lower body feels stronger than it has in a long time and my confidence is back where it should be.
This is a great DVD and a GREAT SERIES I would recommend it to ANYONE!
Great DVD you won't outgrow I have been using balance ball workouts for a few years now, but found this workout more efficient in terms of time and challenge. This workout has 3 Phases with Phase I being the least difficult; but I found that even Phase I has some very challenging exercises (Split Squat and Quad Extension). I have been using this workout for a month now and have seen great improvement on many of the exercises. I love that Adam provides form pointers but doesn't chatter endlessly throughout the routine. I also appreciate that he doesn't count every rep
Tired of same old same old - really like this one Need to work on my lower body but so sick of step ups, squats, lunges, and the like. This dvd has three phases. I am only on phase one, but that gives me room to grow. I like what I feel when I am doing this dvd and to be honest I am a nut for the stability ball. As I grow older, presently 49, I see the need for more and more stretching and balance work. I think that this workout will not only slim down my lower body as I progress, but will aid in maintaining good posture as I age. I have several stability ball(swiss ball) workouts but Adam's set is quickly becoming my favorite. Really a good non-traditional approach. High recommend. I'm looking forward to his Upper Body workout to arrive in the mail.
